A collapsible playpen comprising:
- four upper corner seats each including a V-shaped body of hollow interior having a pair of identical inverse U-shaped extensions perpendicular to each other, a first vertical recess at a conjunction point of the U-shaped extensions facing downward, said inverse U-shaped extensions each having a plurality of aligned thru holes formed in upper and lower lateral walls thereof;
- four lower corner seats each including a hollow flat body, a second vertical recess in one end of the body facing upward and a flat U-shaped extension extending outward from the second recess having a plurality of aligned thru holes in upper and lower lateral walls thereof;
- four vertical posts each having an upper end secured to a respective first vertical recess of each of said upper corner seats and a lower end secured to a respective second vertical recess of each of said lower corner seats;
- four upper railings each comprising a pair of identical rods each having an outward end and an inward end, the outward ends being pivoted at the aligned thru holes in the upper lateral walls of the inverse U-shaped extension of said upper corner seats, the inward ends being pivoted to first connectors;
- a central seat positioned underneath said playpen and having an octagonal upper portion, a rectangular lower portion, four first lugs extended perpendicularly outward from the upper portion thereof, four second lugs extended perpendicularly outward from the lower portion thereof and a pair of hooks formed spaced apart on a top of the upper portion, said first and second lugs each having a pair of aligned thru holes in lateral walls thereof;
- four drive rods oriented diagonally and each having inward ends pivoted to the first lugs of said central seat and outward ends pivoted to an upper portion of the flat U-shaped extensions of said lower corner seats respectively and each drive rod having an adapter sleeved on and in the proximity of the outward ends thereof, said adapters each including a tubular body, a skewed extension which has a U-shaped section extended outward from a lateral side of the tubular body and a pair of aligned thru holes in the lateral walls of the skewed extension;
- a pair of linking rods each comprising two rods of equal length each having an outward end and an inward end, the inward ends being pivoted to second connectors, the outward ends being pivoted to the skewed extensions of the adapters;
- a strip having two ends respectively connected to the second connectors of said linking rods and extended through the hooks of said central seat to define a pulling portion therebetween;
- four reinforcement rods disposed under said drive rods, each having an inward end pivoted to the second lugs of said central seat and an outward end pivoted to the lower walls of the flat U-shaped extensions of said lower corner seat respectively;
- a casing attached to a peripheral portion of said playpen including a bottom positioned above said central seat;
- whereby said playpen is collapsed by simultaneously pulling up the pulling portion of said strip and pushing down the upper railings.
